Recommended tonics
1 - Mediterranean tonic
Mediterranean tonic
With Mediterranean tonic, it is better to use a citrus gin or a more herbaceous gin. Mediterranean tonics bring some subtle citrus and fresh notes (ex: thyme and rosemary). There are also smaller bubbles (similar to champagne) than in classic tonics, bringing a rounder and smoother flavor.
Recommended garnish: Slice of grapefruit or lemon and sprig of rosemary.
2 - Boreal tonic
Boreal tonic
With boreal tonic, it is best to use a woody / forested gin or an herbaceous gin. Boreal tonics bring an additional woody / forest flavor to the gin with flavors of spruce and juniper present in these tonics.
Recommended garnish: Lemon or orange slice.
3 - Classic tonic
Classic tonic
With classic tonic, it is better to use a drier gin (London dry gin) but this tonic is suitable for any variety of gin. The classic tonics are the most usual and they bring a nice bitterness that perfectly complements the taste of all gins.
Recommended garnish: Lemon, grapefruit or cucumber slice.
